That is really kind of neat. Although, I think they should randomize it somehow.

is each phrase supposed to stand alone like that? It sounds stammered. She is as talented as a player piano. Does it sound more fluid on a bowed instrument ?

don't get me wrong - in awe too

Paganini's 24th Caprice is 11 thematic sections and a finale (IIRC)

What I find amazing about this is
a) she looks to be maybe 10 years old (chinese people are very young looking in general though, might be older)
b) the piece was composed for violin, and is considered by many to be *the* most challenging piece of classical music ever written for violin
c) never mind the fact that violins are tuned in 5ths, and played with a bow, unlike guitar. some of those fast, fluid phrases are fucking *impossible* to play on guitar, especially fingerpicking nylon strings

I am typing on a laptop on my bed, while my desktop computer is literally less than six feet away from my ass. I could turn around and my right arm could touch my desktop's keyboard. And I just think to myself... this is why the terrorists hate us.

What I find amazing about this is...
it does look hard, yes, but quite obviously has been adapted for guitar: about the last minute is mostly strumming chords, and clearly using at least five strings at once-- not sure how that would work on a violin.

My laptop's dead, and my cousin has 'misplaced' my desktop. I won't get my laptop back from Fujitsu for over a week, and I don't know if I'll ever see my desktop again. I'll miss you, Songfight.
